It started out with some backstory on the Joker when he was in his early twenties (I was the Joker and Batman in the dream, seeing things from their perspectives and from a third-person point-of-view seemingly at the same time; I'll tell the story from a third-person perspective to prevent confusion). Anyway, the Joker was a crazy dude, and his face was still painted white and red, but he was a little scrawnier than he was in the "The Dark Knight."
The Joker had planned some intricate scheme against a city official at the Gotham. He was tied up at the city library, which was a huge place, and they were both in the aquarium room (which had several tanks with great white sharks). The Joker went on about the city official's dirty history and how the official had harmed him in the past. The old chubby man apologized for everything he had ever done, but it didn't help. Then the joker removed a curtain and revealed a woman dangling over the great white sharks. He plucked some of the city official's blood, climbed up a big ladder, and dropped the blood sample into the shark tank, making the great whites quite restless. The woman with dark hair died blonde began to panic.
The city official fainted. The Joker then cut him up a bit and dragged him into a different room that had gas leaking in it. After that, he revisited the fake blonde and began chatting with her. It turns out that she was working for him. She was actually Selina Kyle, but it was before she had become Catwoman.
Then the dream jumped over to Bruce Wayne's story. He was in Germany at some museum, half-heartedly looking around at some abstract paintings. It took him a long time to figure out if the security guards were speaking French or German (it was German). Finally, what he had come for happened. Out on a great lake that was right outside the museum (it was partially on the water), a car drove to the shore.
Bruce then asked a man (who was dressed in a tuxedo) what that car was and how it performed such a feat. The man explained that it was a new German model, and it had to travel at 256 miles per hour in order to drive atop the water. Bruce was quite interested in it, and he took a few notes in a small notepad that he had kept in his breast pocket.
Then the story jumped back to the Joker (still part of his backstory). He was with Selina Kyle at a doctor's office hospital. Apparently he had been found, and the doctor's were operating on his brain to see if they could cure him of his insanity.
Then the story jumped back to Bruce (as Batman this time). He was dressed in his bat-suite doing aerobics. The whole while he was chanting some sort of arrogant thing about how he was the best and how he had caught the Joker. It was pretty goofy for the Dark Knight. Then he ran and jumped around on his bed, which had Batman blankets on it, then ran over to his dresser, which had a toy Batmobile and a Batman and Joker action figure on it. Apparently Batman was a bit of a lunatic as well.
The story jumped back to the Joker. The surgery was over, and he was sane. He visited Selina in one of the doctor's offices, where they were showing her some pictures of the Joker's brain. He was bewildered by everything. Then the doctor's slipped the fact that they had used a new experimental chemical, one that Selina knew much about. This chemical could help unbalances in the brain, but if it was offset again, it was distort the brain more than it was distorted before the use of the chemical. This made Selina very nervous, but she was glad to see the Joker (she called him Brian) acting normally again.
Then the story jumped into the present (the Batman story had always been there). The Joker was again plotting evil to take place at the hospital where the doctor's had temporarily cured him. He snuck around wearing a hoodie, blending in with some of the youth there. The hospital had a library, and the Joker began walking around in there.
Then the story jumped back to Batman. He was meeting with the mayor about some information he had discovered about the Joker. He showed the mayor the picture of the Joker's brain that had been x-rayed several years before. He knew the Joker's history, which would give him the upper hand. The mayor pulled out some wine and he and Batman began to celebrate.
Back at the hospital library, the Joker was setting up small metal boxes that were releasing toxic gases (it was a mutation of the chemical used on him at the hospital in the past). He was also planting guns in various places (handguns, machine guns, shotguns, all that he was carrying in a wagon behind him).
Suddenly, people began to freak out (the gasses had got to them). They grabbed the guns and began shooting up the place. After a while, policemen began to arrive on the scene, and they were shooting at the people who minutes before were completely sane. There were kids and mothers shooting and being shot at, which gave the Joker much pleasure. Before long, the building was ablaze.
Suddenly, Batman came swinging into the building from out of nowhere. He had with him a small spray bottle that sprayed some sort of chemical that healed people of their insanity. He went around helping people, avoiding their bullets all the while.
Finally, he discovered the Joker and pinned him up against a wall. (This was confusing, for I was both characters at the same time.) Then the Joker began to laugh and pointed behind Batman, where several young kids (kids that I know from substitute teaching at Oregon-Davis high school) were aiming weapons at him. Then Batman turned around and picked up one of the kids.
Then I awoke.
I fell back asleep and dreamt that I was racing my brothers, Matt and Mike Baughman, and a woman I don't know, in a huge outdoor swimming pool in the middle of the night. We didn't swim, though; we ran in the water. I thought I was doing very well, but at the end of the race I had finished second; I was defeated by a guy who wasn't there at the beginning of the dream.
Then my brothers and I were sucked into a Mario game. We were in one of the castle's from Super Mario Bros (from Super Nintendo), climbing around on a net. We were supposed to collect a bunch of blue coins. Apparently I had missed a bunch, and Matt began shouting at me, for we were almost out of time.
Then I awoke again. I had slept much longer than I had planned.
